best lover

Will the best lover of your life
appear a week from Tuesday?
Will the best lover of your life
arrive when you're fifty-three?
Will the best lover of your life
speak seven languages?
Will the best lover of your life
come from across the sea?

Will the best lover of your life
have a puppy tattoo?
Will the best lover of your life
have hair down to the knee?
Will the best lover of your life
be reflective, shy, and forgetful?
Will the best lover of your life
be a naked prankster in a tree?

Will the best lover of your life
play the harp sweetly
Will the best lover of your life
sing tone deaf with glee?
Will the best lover of your life
be firebrand or healer?
Will the best lover of your life
give all they possess for free?

Will the best lover of your life
pass you by if you're careless?
Fixated on your own navel
how will you look up to see?
And what if they look like someone
you've never imagined?
Will the best lover of your life
look a whole lot like...me?
